reserve) fleets had a second flag superior distinguishing from which naval depot they were manned; "C" for The flag superior for whole ship classes has often been changed while the numbers stayed the same. For example, the Royal Navy used a red burgee for torpedo boats and a pennant with an H for torpedo boat destroyers. "F" and "A" use two or three digits, "L" and "P" up to four. The Admiralty took the situation in hand and first compiled a "Naval Pendant List" in 1910, with ships grouped under the distinguishing flag of their type.

Royal Navy submarines of the "H" and "L", and some transferred American vessels, were not issued names, only numbers. Royal Navy Submarines by Post-1947 Pennant Number : Number: Name Class: Note: This page was compiled using each submarines pennant number as known.
Historically, naval ships flew a flag that identified a flotilla or type of vessel. Vessels were deployed as and when they were needed or available, and were often incorporated into mixed "escort groups" containing a range of vessel types such as Post-war Flotillas were no longer identified by bands, but by large Aircraft carriers and vessels operating aircraft have a deck code painted on the Participating countries, with their assigned number ranges,The Royal Navy uses a single letter (typically the first letter of the ship's name) for aircraft carriers and large vessels operating aircraft, and pairs of letters (usually, letters from the ship's name) for smaller vessel. For the American equivalent, see hull classification symbol and for the Canadian equivalent, see hull classification symbol (Canada). For the United States equivalent, see Again, pennant 13 is not used (for instance the helicopter carrier When single funnelled destroyers entered the fleet with the Flotilla bands were used throughout the war although war-losses, operational requirements, and new construction broke up the homogeneity of the destroyer flotillas.
Several European NATO and Commonwealth navies agreed to introduce a pennant number system based on that of the Royal Navy. "F" and "A" use two or three digits, "L" and "P" up to four.
For example, the Royal Navy used a red burgee for torpedo boats and a pennant with an H for torpedo boat destroyers. For example, in 1940, the Royal Navy swapped the letters "I" and "D" around (e.g. The Royal Navy first used pendants to distinguish its ships in 1661 with a proclamation that all of his majesty's ships must fly a union pendant. This article is about Royal Navy and European ship pennant numbers.
